Middle of the Bed

I lay in the middle of the bed,
in the very spot where we shared so many nights,
where we whispered so many words,
did all the things lovers do –
where I loved you and you loved me
until we could hardly breathe anymore –
and I wonder if a thousand miles away
you’re thinking of me, as I of you,
if your blood runs hot, your heart beats fast,
and if you’re filled with the kind of love
I know . . .
I close my eyes and picture you,
kiss the thought, whisper goodnight –
tomorrow . . . tomorrow, at last.

This is so beautiful, James. And, I am so
glad that I know that my Honey-Love also
feels this, just as I do......

and I wonder if a thousand miles away
you’re thinking of me, as I of you,
if your blood runs hot, your heart beats fast,
and if you’re filled with the kind of love
I know . . .

Hugs to you, friend,

Ethel

Ah yes, one can't help but sigh when thinking about the middle of the bed. Anyone who has ever shared this space with another would know of this. I can almost hear the blues guitar in the background.
